Question

The box plots show the average wind speeds in miles per hour, for various cities in two different countries.

Average Wind Speeds of cities in Country A
Average Wind Speeds of cities in Country B
Which statement compares the median wind speeds for the data in the two box plots?
The median wind speed for country Ais greater than the median wind speed for country B.
The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A.
The median wind speed for country A is about 7 miles per hour, and the median wind speed for country B is about 9 miles

Answer 1

Hiya there. I have been seeing a lot of confusing regarding these "average wind speed" questions, and I realized its because there are multiple of them.

So I will just give the answers to all of them that were on my quiz:

Which statement compares the median speeds for the data in the two box plots?

D: The median speed in race A is about 153 miles per hour, and the median speed in race B is about 145 miles per hour.

Which explains, on a given day, which island is more likely to have a wind speed close to its median?

C: Country A because it has a smaller interquartile range.

Which statement compares the median wind speeds for the data in the two box plots?

B: The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A.

Which statement describes the symmetry of the data in the two box plots?

Answer 2

Question:

a. The median wind speed for country A is greater than the median wind speed for country B.

b. The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A.

c. The median wind speed for country A is about 7 miles per hour, and the median wind speed for country B is about 9 miles

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A

Explanation:

From the figure of the box plot, we have;

The median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country A = 4 miles per hour

The median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country B = 6 miles per hour

Therefore, the median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country B is greater than the median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country A. The correct option = b.
